3.16.74-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit a6d2a5a92e67d151c98886babdc86d530d27111c upstream.
Currently if alloc_skb fails to allocate the skb a null skb is passed to
t4_set_arp_err_handler and this ends up dereferencing the null skb. Avoid
the NULL pointer dereference by checking for a NULL skb and returning
early.
Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference null return")
Fixes: b38a0ad8ec11 ("RDMA/cxgb4: Set arp error handler for PASS_ACCEPT_RPL messages")
